  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    In your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?

    This says that North America does not kill and just animals. They process and pasteurized it

    It was much better because there was much more scenery to see. We also got to stop more places that we have not visited. I can avoid air travel just by taking car everywhere 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Smaller Portions
    Fun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?

    When eating smaller portions your changing your diet and you could feel happier or in a different mood.
